Abstract
The field of the physiology of training and performance is extremely heterogeneous. It becomes more and more difficult to be a “work physiologist” according to the classical concept. The research is now quite complicated and time consuming with regard to methods and detailed and profound knowledge. It covers so many different subjects as the physics and dynamics of air movement into and out of the lungs, the biochemistry on a cellular level, not to mention all the links between these fields and the oxygen transporting system — to mention one “homogeneous” concept. The field really demands specialists on isolated details, but there is then the inevitable risk that one gradually loses the ability and knowledge essential for an integration. Physical performance is a result of success in a coordinated function of all cells in the body.
